Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Now let's make another film. This one will be both a true crime and a heist film. Inevitable millions.
Bankrolled by the thieves as well.
A shaky video of someones shaking phone video. Are we just giving up on trying to be professional?
Someone should invent a way to get a video file off of a phone without cracking it open and letting the Internet leak out.
Or maybe like a jig do that the phone and the camera recording it are both kept steady and properly cropped
The producer tried to hold the phone to the photocopier but the results were poor. The producer was negotiating puchasing the footage, but this accidental footage snagged was much cheaper.
You might not be far off because the embedded video just says "this video is private" negating the entire purpose of the article.
Dammit, Lupin.
Cliffnotes – A few people involved, seemingly professional thieves, obtained ~2 partial sets of jewelry, no leads yet.
And someone was just standing there, recording it on their phone? Something not adding up.
Ah, but they were wearing a bright yellow vest! Be honest - would you think twice if you saw someone wearing a safety yellow vest and carrying a drill? Apparently there was construction going on nearby as well, so the basket lift didn't really stand out.
True, but that still begs the question, why were they filming that person if they didn't think something was going on? Not that I'd expect a bystander to throw themselves upon a thief, but interesting they still got away after being noticed and filmed during.
Maybe the person wasn’t sure but suspected something so better catch it on camera just in case. These thieves were fast so don’t expect random bystanders to react as you would with some time to think.
Yup that could be. I'm not expecting anything of them.
They were in and out in 4 minutes. What do you find odd about it? I would expect people to have their phones out recording everything when visiting a place like this that many might only see once in a lifetime.
I read 7 minutes, but nonetheless, I just found that recording odd. If you were a tourist there with your phone, you'd be recording the guy you assume to be doing maintenance on a case? I'm not suggesting some plot or conspiracy theory or batshit stuff like that. They stole the stuff and got away with it. I just found that video odd. Regardless, we weren't there and can't know all the ins and outs.
lol
